JEE Main 2025 (Online) 28th January Evening Shift Physics - Magnetic Properties of Matter Question 1 English

A bar magnet has total length $2 l=20$ units and the field point P is at a distance $\mathrm{d}=10$ units from the centre of the magnet. If the relative uncertainty of length measurement is $1 \%$, then uncertainty of the magnetic field at point P is :

10%
5%
3%
4%

Explanation

Without considering uncentainity in $\ell$.

$B=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}$

$\mathrm{B} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^3}$

$$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{~B}}=3 \times\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}\right)$$

$\%$ uncertainity in $\mathrm{B}=3 \%$

Method-2 :

With considering uncentainity in $\ell$.

$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{B} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^3} \\ & \frac{\Delta \mathrm{~B}}{\mathrm{~B}}=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+3 \times\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}\right)=1+3 \times 1=4 \% \end{aligned}$$

$\%$ uncertainity in $B=4 \%$
